just try to understand...

the night before that I wasn't able to come home or go to sleep so I hadn't taken anything
that night I took the 300mg 5HTP all at once because I wanted to fall asleep immediately and go into deep sleep (I was super tired)
I slept from just before 2 until just after 6.

Most of the time when I can't get back to bed I have already slept for 5-7 hours

a better question might be why did I set an intention to wake up after every dream (and almost always succeed, only once in this competition have I awoken to an alarm at 5:15am) the answer is to increase the number of dreams recalled and ensure that I am approaching wakefulness in every dream to have a better chance to become lucid

The DHEA I hardly ever take and I take it to increase strageness in dreams hoping to trigger

The Melatonin I take at least some of every night but have been taking lots for this competition because it increases the vividness of the dreams especially when combined with the 5HTP that increases the clarity and focus in dreams.

(also the Melatonin if I hit a sweet spot tends to make me have visions as I try to fall asleep, the amount needed seems to vary a bit, I used to take slow release Melatonin at lower levels but now only find fast release, I think I have only had one night with visions during this competition tho, the visions can be as clear as ultra vivid dreams but you know your awake)

(the manner in which I take the Melatonin depends on how much time I have to sleep, when I have little time because it is already late I take a bunch at once, if I have all weekend I take a little and then a little more on each awakening)

As for B6 that is just shearly for recall, but I usually only take on average 50mg per night
